- Private Detective in Ukrainian
Will the deputies to legalize private investigation in the country?
So we have a situation in our country, which is currently private detectives were outside the legal field. And, to be more precise, there has never been. Their work is on the verge in the fact that not prohibited, is allowed. But it is doubtful whether it can really be called a hundred percent legitimate work. Let many of them are registered as mass media, it does not mean anything and does not give them the right to fully work. But at the moment there is active consideration of this issue to its solution has been found as soon as possible.
Will the detectives forced into a framework?
Of course, it would not be fair to speak about what is really detectives in the underground state. Just if you look closely at their activities, that is, some of the controversial issues that clearly fall outside the bounds of the law, but other things are in the state, which is extremely difficult to control because of the absence of most of these regulatory elements. However, this does not mean that this activity could be called forbidden. They just can not presently engaged in conducting video, to carry out wiretapping rooms. In any case, it is an explanation of this situation gives Igor Malovsky, is an experienced lawyer in Ukraine.
But the issue is under consideration by Parliament since the twelfth of April. And that adoption of the law "On private detective work" to do the work of detectives is legal in Ukraine, opening before them a lot of opportunities. For example, employees of a detective agency can shoot a movie and exercise record. But they will have to be more careful in collecting information about people's personal lives. it is in principle for them is forbidden, and in particular issues related to religious and political beliefs.
But detectives themselves quite wary of all the changes that may occur in their professional lives. It is now their job is not just regulated and kept under the watchful supervision of party organizations, and in particular under the control of the Interior Ministry. And if by the detectives will be seen even the slightest violation, they should be held accountable under the law. However, the author of the bill Vladimir Moysik offers a look at the experience of other countries that have implemented long ago laws regulating the work of private investigation. He believes that these changes will give the opportunity to the interaction between law enforcement and private investigators more fruitful and detectives will be able to open a lot of new jobs.
Exposing incorrect
As they say themselves private investigators, they have no besieged by customers. But the detective agencies in the territory of Ukraine is not official figures, there are about two thousand. Although the exact number is extremely difficult, given that no one is an accurate accounting of these organizations. It is also difficult to tell and who often uses the services of detectives. But how to speak Coordinator detective agency "Conrad" Yuri Conrad probably did most of the orders accounted for by private individuals. And most of all they are asking people to organize a search. Look for a variety of people. it can be and former bosses and workers, old friends and former lovers, debtors and fraudsters, pop stars and movies. It is only natural that such a category of people is rather narrow segment, to be engaged in the search for law enforcement officials.
No less troubling question for clients detective agency - is exposing unfaithful spouses. And here there are quite unpredictable situation. However, to predict how much time will be spent on such work extremely difficult. In some cases, it is enough just a few hours to find out whether there is a lover of his wife, while her husband is away on business. In other situations, it may require more extensive training, and the process will not take much time. Even the services of detectives - this is not the cheapest kind of services. Thus, searching for the person you have to spend at least 250 - 500 dollars. But on exposing infidelity leave of not less than $ 350 per day.
Particularly active at this time show business owners. According to Yuri Sergeyevich executives using private detectives seek to expose scams that can work for them, reveal espionage, prevent financial fraud. Also, entrepreneurs are using the opportunity to collect information about their competitors. And it is very popular in such activities polygraph, which helps quickly understand the issues of theft and to identify channels of information leakage. However, such a pleasure will cost you no less than one and a half thousand hryvnia. If you will order the inspection of premises to search for wiretaps, then the price will be - ten dollars for a study of one square meter.
Taking on the spot
Shortage of unusual situations in the detectives there. They occasionally encounter such curiosities that the average person can see only in the movies. For example, was the situation in practice, the detective agency "Conrad", when they received an order to check the woman who later became to return home, and even her new jewelry began to appear. Naturally, the husband first thought there was treason. But as a result of the work of detectives realized that she just started to conduct their own business, without the knowledge of their relatives and husband in particular.
But it is not always treated with such requests. There are times when people want to provoke their second half and see how those are really true. Also it had a situation where a man of boredom ordered surveillance of himself. Naturally, it is understood that detectives have only in the process of the work itself. But it fell short of expectations, confirming its professionalism. There was another oddity associated with exposure of spies in the same company. There have been introduced under the guise of a detective that he found work at the company, "sales manager". But the director of the company, presented a new employee when the staff said that now he finds out who he is deceiving because it turned to private detectives.
Assistance in preparation of the material had a detective agency "Conrad" (http://www.dobrobut.biz.ua).
What happens in other countries?
Of course, before making any changes at home, you need to see how it does in others. And while the experience of colleagues from other countries shows only the positive experience of legalization of private investigation. For example, in the US budget detective agencies in more than half the budget of the police. And in Russia only in the first two years after the adoption of this law was discovered about seven thousand agencies. In England, the detectives two times more than the police. Naturally, it is what it says.
